10 Best WWE Matches Outside The US & Canada

[@jamesthompson472]

Surprised AJ Styles vs Jinder Mahal isn’t on here. 1st time the WWE Championship changed hands outside North America and one of the first major live events to take place in Manchester Arena after the terrorist attack. Not only did they put on a good match, but the way the crowd popped at the finish to that match is still one of my personal favourite WWE moments of all time

[@themilkman4448]

Well they did say best matchs. Not matches that happened outside the US

[@oscarclayton7025]

The lack of WALTER vs Dragunov 1 on this list is criminal.

It wasn't until Summerslam 1992 and afterwards where Savage and The Warrior became "Ultimate Maniacs".

[@MrAce-lm8es]

Backlash 2000 - The Rock vs HHH Insurrextion 2000 - The Rock vs HHH Judgment DAY 2000 - The Rock vs HHH All tore the houses down!!!

[@chickenmayopunk4099]

I peaked at my first ever live WWF event - Austin Vs Rock at Rebellion 2001 for the title in Manchester. So glad it's on the list!

[@jimbo_1312]

Hey that was my first one too 😅

[@TheRealJohnnyHendo]

I think July should be a designated foreign tour month that ends with a PPV. The PPV can be either be Insurrection, Rebellion, or Invasion. The foreign tour in July will happen every other year. The years where it doesn't happen in July, it will happen in another month. That way, foreign audiences will at the very least get some kind of show some years and will get a more notable show some years as well. This is what the schedule would look like: Year 1: July PPV Year 2: Smaller PPV (Extreme Rules, Hell in a Cell, TLC, Elimination Chamber, Backlash, etc) Year 3: July PPV Year 4: Bigger PPV (Royal Rumble, Summerslam, Money in the Bank, Survivor Series) Year 5: July PPV Year 6: Wrestlemania Repeat On the years where the foreign tour doesn't happen in July, America will get The Bash or The Great American Bash in July since July is when Independence Day takes place.

[@chunkyboyjames]

Only one problem with this, it requires WWE to actually give a fuck about the fans.

[@TheRealJohnnyHendo]

@@chunkyboyjames true. I should have added at the end that they will never do this, but one can dream lmao

[@KidCthulhu82]

Bret Hart v The Undertaker at One Night Only was an incredible back and forth match (despite the finish). Very underrated IMO.

[@My19812011]

Personally always seen that match as their best match, they just never seemed to have the chemistry that HBK had with Undertaker but then HBK never seemed to have that chemistry with Austin that Bret had either

[@scotttaber7008]

Can't believe Rey Mysterio Vs Kurt Angle on Smackdown 2006 wasn't on here. 11 year old me was so hyped up until Mark Henry ran down for a DQ finish.

7:53 time to nitpick: Puerto Rico is in the united states.

[@rogregg29445]

It’s technically it’s own country though it’s a territory of the United States same With Guam

[@StageRight123]

@@rogregg29445 Puerto Rico is NOT it's own country. You are correct that it is a territory though. Regardless, it's still part of the United States.

[@jonathanbohm6489]

@@rogregg29445 you sir are wrong

[@TheLaidBackDrummer]

It's not one of the 50 States. Being a territory is different.

[@TheThird1977]

Figured Bret vs. Bulldog would take #1, but was shocked (shocked I tell thee) that Bret vs. Undertaker at One Night Stand didn't even make the list.

[@JM1993951]

My “backlash” to Cena wasn’t because I thought he couldn’t wrestle. It was because nobody was being pushed as a strong heel against him. Austin and The Rock got screwed over more than they were made to look dominant, but they came out on top when it mattered, even if it took a few months to get there. We rarely saw Cena booked as the underdog or as if the odds were against him. We knew the drill….punch, punch, FU, STFU, Cena wins. It got incredibly predictable. It’s why everyone was so overjoyed when he lost at One Night Stand.

[@oddishhonor]

You forgot should tackle, somewhat spinning slam and the five knuckle shuffle

[@optimus2008]

That's quite frankly the fault of creative. That department holds the blame for virtually all the horrible ideas and storylines.

[@dainbramage781]

It might be an unpopular opinion but I really think Jinder Mahal vs AJ Styles for the WWE title in Manchester deserves an honorable mention at least. Technicality versus brute strength in a short but enjoyable bout.

[@1in6win]

I think HBK/Cena actually eclipses Hart/Bulldog slightly now. Both classics though.

[@alastair852]

It's weird that WWE has never done a PPV in Mexico.

[@stokerino1905]

HBK/Cena officially the best match I've ever seen live in person.

[@benespinosa6725]

New Years Revolution 2005 was a terrible PPV But the Elimination Chamber match was awesome and it was in San Juan Puerto Rico which was cool since I'm Puerto Rican 🇵🇷

[@JM1993951]

Do US territories not count as “The US”?

That chamber match was badass

[@SebastianGomez-uj8iu]

@@JM1993951 maybe Adam didn't do his research

[@aj2766]

So not gonna lie I would would put Cena vs Shawn number 1 just because of what Bulldog and Bret could have been if he had been in the right mind.

[@Longdogz]

I was at summer slam 92, brilliant card Bulldog and hitman was awesome

[@Xero__AU]

a great match not on this list was Buddy Murphy vs Cedric Alexander at Super Showdown in Australia. Giving the win to the home town Buddy Murphy in a great match was excellent and the fans gave out a huge pop in return.

[@bazzagazza1024]

I was there that night and it was probably the best match on the show, those two have some great chemistry

[@StageRight123]

7:35 Ahem... Puerto Rico is part of the United States as a territory, so it really doesn't belong on this list.

[@thewrestlingguy10]

What a load of awesome matches. Some great selections here guys!

Of course SummerSlam 92 is #1. Every British KZbinr always has to talk about it every August around the same time. I love Cultaholic but these lists are getting too predictable

[@Biggucci97]

Im sick of wrestling youtubers acting like it was fans who decided to say john cena couldnt wrestle. It was triple h who said it. Stop blaming the fans for hunter’s bullshit

[@TheThird1977]

Funny; I didn't see Triple H in the stands shouting "YOU CAN'T WRESTLE" at John Cena. Triple H did say it on TV, but the the fans kept saying it long after. Using your analogy, if one person kicked you and then another ten people in the room kicked you, only the first person is at fault.

[@Biggucci97]

@@TheThird1977 I find it funny that fans need to be held accountable for a wrestlers arrogance. He shouldnt have said in the first place. Im free to say anything like as long as it isn’t offensive.

[@syxodude91]

It was definitely the fans. It started online back around 2005. That's when I started to read the "DirtSheets" and joined one of the forums. That's where I first started to see all of the Cena hate and how he wasn't a good wrestler. Being a Cena fan at the time I admit I was a little offended. Soon you started to hear the boos on TV.

[@Biggucci97]

@@syxodude91 so it was the fans fault when they started saying lance storm was boring? What about the what chants? So fans just made up stuff and it caught fire without any influence from the wrestlers?

[@syxodude91]

@@Biggucci97 Those were different cases. Lets stay on the subject of Cena can't wrestle shall we? The fans definitely started it in his case. The internet fans became way more critical of him and his wrestling abilities once he became champion. That tends to happen a lot once the new guy wins the belt. Especially when they put him up against people the internet fans thought were way better than him like Jericho and Angle.

Great list but why the hell is AJ Styles vs jinder mahal for The WWE Championship on Smackdown in The UK not on the list??? First time ever that The WWE Championship had changed hands outside of The USA and it was a fantastic quality match primarily because of how brilliant & talented AJ is and The Phenomenal One surviving essentially a 3 on 1 handicap match against mahal & his lackeys the singh brothers to capture his second WWE Title reign and with it a massive dream match with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series & a triumphant year long reign as WWE Champion, how can you not put it on the list???
